Can still smell the delivery truck smell!

[Caneyscud]

Now, sitting in front of my desk, is BTDS76P (more lovingly named - BDS4 still in box and still smelling of delivery truck.  Excited to finally get it after much deliberation - I'm generally a stick burner - so in certain circles I may have to hide behind a curtain.  Can't wait to use this thing and have been hiding out on this forum learning.  Definitely want to do some mods as I got it to do mostly sausages and cold smoking, but why not other things - I might just get hooked.  Gotta go to BassPro to get some bisquettes tonight.  Maybe first smoke after break in will be ribs.

Welcome Cscud, I can Say for most of the folks here. Doesn't matter what you smoke on. Just as long as you smoke and enjoy sharing. Bradley's are the preferred method here but others can be converted to be used on Bradley's. It's all about learning and having fun doing it!!


WTS will try to corrupt you into using nothing but Messy wood. Don't let him fool you he has Hickory!! but he's afraid to use it

No need to hide....just think of all the things you'll be able to do while everyone else is tending their smoker ;D  It gives you plenty of time to make mucho Mujitos!

Welcome aboard!

Yeh, sorta figgered that out about WTS, but you know that's OK.  I confess, I have my messy wood exported by my dad here to me in TN.  Funny thing he does that, but doesn't use any himself.  He likes post oak.  I will also turn it on my lathe, and it's ok, until you hit one of them big old grubs - that's a mess!  Always wanted to do one of them survivorman things and eat one, but have never found a whole one!  WHEW!

W E L C O M E  to the Forum Caneyscud!

Enjoy your new smoker. I have learned much from those here. I have cooked and cured things that I never thought I would.

"Why do you make your own bacon/pastrami/pulled pork?"

Because I can! and it's the best bacon/pastrami/pulled pork I've ever had....

Jeff, from Music City around Green Hills.  I'm originally from TX, but the wife is originally from Urine City up near Reelfoot.  I hope you weren't involved in all that bad weather the last few years.  Had a couple of fiends with kids at Union.  Had a project going in Memphis in Midtown when one of those bad weather spells - guys were diving into the ditches - literally.  The third floor blew off and had 4 guys inside of it and they rode it down - luckily only a bruised rib.  Was driving 40 quite a bit during that time and remembered what Jackson looked like.

Man, it is just sitting there staring at me with big eyes saying open the box stupid and season me.  No pucks, bad planning on my part.  Lunch time trip to basspro.
